Add note about serial port permissions on Linux #7

Closed Informatic closed 5 years ago

Informatic commented 6 years ago

User needs to be in dialout group on Ubuntu/Debian-based systems to be able to interact with serial ports. Running binary as root (eg. using sudo) would work, but was discouraged by PyInstaller developers due to some possible temporary directory permissions security issues in case of --onefile builds, last time I've looked into this.
